Seminole:
I think that I can feel your concern for others who are in trouble.  I have had to deal with that feeling many years in the past and it is troubling and frustrating for most.

Please consider that in this age, Jesus Messiah is dealing with the few, the chosen and not with the masses.
If you had not gone down town to the area where you said you shouldn't be, the situation would have been just as bad as if you did go there. You're not going to change it.  Jesus is usually not going to intervene in such areas even though we pray for some deliverance for them.  His purpose at this time is to train us.  His purpose is to observe how we respond to the needs of others and to see if we will show care and concern, just as you are. 

He is working with and working on our personal character development.  He is a tough coach but he is also tender with those he is training because he knows our frame and will not test us or try us beyond what we are able to endure, WITH HIS HELP.  This is all about training the pioneers who will assist Jesus to usher in the new age.  He doesn't need us so much as he is allowing us to participate in the new age because Jesus has a heart to share.  God can make followers from the stones if that was His purpose; to have lots of followers to exhalt Himself.  But that is not God's character, God is allowing us, the little ones, the meek and humble ones, to share in His great work.
BUT, we are not ready yet.  We need a lot of training and correction and testing and purifying in the spiritual fire of God.

For one thing, we need to learn to communicate with love 100 percent of the time.  We need to learn to chose our words and make them fit the situation.  We are all in elementary school and have a lot to learn and the first thing and the most important in my view is to seek unity in Christ.

It is o.k. to stumble and do our best, after all we are just little kids compared to what we will become, so let's all consider the blessings we have been offered just to have real friends and to have the opportunity to share our thoughts with others who love God.  We are not alone, God is with us, we have direct access to God through our savior and we need this 'love' connection more than we need to get it right every time.

Love and hugs to one and all.
OLD indianabob.   (smooch, smooch) both cheeks.

seminole:
IndianaBob, you seem real sincere. I like what you said and the way you said it. No offense here brother. I feel you. I got to tell you it's hard to explain how it is here. I didn't go to downtown. We have got different gangs all around us. Nobody is allowed downtown on foot after 9:00 p.m. That is where the restaurants and stuff is. New Town is what we call the border area of each hood. I mean  I guess you could call it neighborhood. You don't want to cross the borders really unless the gangs know you mean no harm like calling the law on them. You can get to a place of intermingling without being in a gang but they got to know you first. Believe it or not I have been able to cross the lines in different hoods taking food and clothes to kids and stuff. That is what I mean by making a difference. Maybe it's not a big difference but a little is better than none. Thanks man, I appreciate the way you responded.

indianabob:
Seminole my brother,

Thank you for the thoughtful and gracious reply.
Keep up the good work and please don't tire of well doing.
You are on the right path and I'm convinced that you will finish the race.
So, take it easy on yourself, you're doing fine.

Warm regards, Bob
